Our Dating Sim (2023)

This is what boyfriends chemistry really is

So many reviews of other shows talking about great chemistry but none got actual boyfriends chemistry as right as this one. The MLs bickering, playfulness, teasing, cuddling and overall behavior with each other totally scream boyfriends loud and clear, even some of the side characters comment on this.
The delivery is simply effective and convincing,

Short, lighthearted and fluffy with balanced power dynamics, no toxic shenanigans at all. No character dominates over the other or manipulates. They equally tease each other and equally need each other.

Initially Ki Tae appears to be the cold one who rejected Lee Wan and now "bullies" him in the work place but Lee Wan takes no bullshit and assertively talks back swiftly killing the Jerk x Doormat trope out of the show.
Fortunately, soon it's revealed how they both never moved on and how much both always liked and need each other. Two cinammon rolls really.

Poorly used beautiful soundtracks though, Because of You by Cheero is one of those that could make you cry.

Face Your Own Demon

Such a sweet and heartwarming story about two men, who actually liked each other since high school but were separated due to the lack of communication. One was afraid after the 'rejection' and chose to run away, while the other one was kinda late to realize his own feeling and lost his man for few years.

The series told us that we should never avoid our own troubles, our own feeling, because one day, sooner or later, it will haunt us back, and to have a closure (happy or sad) is better than to avoid it.

Although it seems that the communication wasn't built well at the beginning (because LW avoided to communicate) but in the end, LW was brave enough to choose the thing that was best for him at this moment (stay with SKT)

The trauma of being left behind without any explanation (being ghosted) is definitely real. I could understand SKT's feeling about it. It's indeed a very unpleasant experience.

I have watched this series for 3 times, and it always puts a smile on my face each time after re-watching it.

Stupid(Affectionately) cute and worth every minute

The plotline is cute and we don't waste a bunch of time on miscommunication and will they/won't they. Both our men are learning to communicate better, but the drama doesn't come from crazy jealousy and being misinformed about things. The drama comes from the very human, realistic scenario of not wanting to disappoint your S/O with something and so you don't come out and tell them stuff, but eventually you have to.

Wan is baby and needs to be kept in warm hugs and blankets forever. His fear is mostly from the societal pressure of being a gay man who doesn't know how the people around him will react if they find out about his sexuality. He's the one who worries about others seeing them being affectionate, about letting people in. His fear is why he ran away in the first place, seven years ago.

On the other hand, Gi Tae is afraid of losing Wan. He presents as having his shit together, but the show does a great job of showing us how anxious he really is, all the way until his fear finally boils over. It was refreshing that Gi Tae - the character who seems in control - was the one to have a breaking point and not Wan - who seems less emotionally steady. The culminating scene was very well acted and the editing really pulled on the heart strings.

The main downside is the same as most shows. Meaning, I'm pretty sure this is not how game development works. These timelines seem unrealistic. The team size and workload also probably don't match reality. But if I ignore the logistics, I can only find fault in the fact that the music changes every episode and so there's no unifying song that we'll be stuck in my head forever.

Definitely restarting this game!

This is one of the purest, well written and well developed Korean BL's! Particularly I`m a sucker for soft and easy-watching stories, and this is one of the best.

The plot itself is really simple, and some could say it lacks drama, but for me this is what makes it so enjoyable. Having a not complex story in 8 episodes with 15 minutes, makes it really well paced with enough plot for us to enjoy. It doesn`t fill in with unnecessary drama and characters. The story, in the end, is all focused on the main couple as it should be.

The cast is really good, the main couple have great chemistry and the supporting actors also do their job really well.

When I was rating, I almost gave the OST a neutral score because it`s not really memorable, but the gaming music that plays in the post credit scenes its just SO right, that I needed to give it a 10.

This one is a great comfort BL that I`ll certainly rewatch in the future.

Simple, Sweet, Excellent

What a calming watch this little show was.
The story is entirely driven by the complex inner lives of its main characters, two utterly ordinary people in more or less entirely ordinary circumstances, which are explored with such skill and deftness it renders the need for any outside conflict to their relationship entirely obsolete. It's a character-driven drama par excellence masquerading as a simple rom-com and for that alone I'd consider it worth watching.
Add to that the fact that the story and characters are absolutely delightful and deeply endearing, the editing and themes are cohesive and perfectly underscore the plot (the little dating sim-style vignettes of their time in high school in particular are brilliant), the performances are stellar, and the music is fantastic and has been stuck in my head since I first watched the show, well you essentially end up with a must-watch show, in my opinion.
It's a realistic, low-stakes drama with boundless charm and a great appreciation and understanding for love as a transformative force in all of human existence which very much resonated with me.
"Happy endings aren't guaranteed and might not even exist in real life", it says. "But choosing love every time? That's real. That's worthwhile."
And honestly, it couldn't be more right about that.

To the Point

Really sweet and short BL drama.

The romance/plot progression was straight to the point— as much as it could be without appearing to be insta-love or skimming on details; and this was necessary given how short the running time is per episode. We also have Eddie to thank for this as his character was more of a go-getter; he knew what he wanted and went for it. Love that!

Great chemistry beween our male leads. They were really adorable together and I loved watching Eddie 'chase' Ian and them being boyfriends at work.

Acting was good, not at all cringeworthy.

Overall, I would definitely re-watch this again as its really short and I'd like to revisit their cute romance in the future.

Simple, sweet and short ... as all korean BLs

It's a lightweight BL series, very simple, very cute, easy to understand and follow up with, not much of complications or dramatic scenes.
I watched it in one evening because Korean BLs are always short and i hate that about them, they do not give you time to get invested in the story or developp any sort of attachement to the characters, before you know it..tada it's Over.
I gave the story a 9, because the idea was sorta kindaa different and original
But i didn't give the series an 8, because again the white washing of the skin of these characters literally burns my eyes, they're glowing, you have a feeling like you're watching angels not human beings and that takes away my ability to relate to them.

KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE


Me hubiese gustado que sea mas largo :( maldita seas bls coreanos de 8 capitulos con 15 minutos de duracion sos mi peor enemigo
Los dos actores muy cute muy bonitos, uno me hizo acordar a hyunjun (ex-tbz), y el otro a sunghoon (enhypen) pero mas que nada porque hablan igual? thats sunghoon fr. bueno como no rescate sus nombres salvo que por alguna razon en la ufi se llaman eddie e ian, los voy a llamar como sus parecidos.
Hyunjun es tan cute I love when men are insane y con justificacion. El hecho de que estuvo buscando 7 años a sunghoon thats so hot (y triste flaco MOVE OOON). me gusto y me puso sad que le haya quedado un trauma de abandono por la culpa de sunghoon, y mas que se haya puesto a llorar al frente de sunghoon cuando se lo dijo. pero a la vez dale chabon medio creepy lo tuyo porque ahora sunghoon no va a irse de tu vista por miedo a generarte algun otro trauma.
Igual tampoco me gusto como sunghoon desde la primera entrevista en la ufi dijo que se iria a otra empresa a mitad del proyecto si lo llaman sos bobo acaso queres no laburar nunca mas de tu vida?
Bueno nada muy cute, me gustaron sus interacciones, que hubo bastante physical touch, todo ese jueguito de sunghoon de hacerse el dificil con hyunjun y despues decirle que salgan asi de una porque eso es realmente lo que el queria, como hyunjun parecia un nenito hiperactivo al lado de sunghoon y siempre se la pasaba corriendo o saltando o jugando a abrazar a sunghoon o tocando sus patas con sus patas :( so cuteeeeeee muy wholesome y a la vez entretenido no me dormi en vivo ni una vez!!
